How to Plant:

  1. Location: Choose a site with full sun to partial shade.
  2. Soil Preparation: Ensure the soil is well-draining, light, and fluffy. Prepare the soil to a depth of 20cm.
  3. Planting Method:
    • Position the bulbs with the 'fat' end and roots down, and the neck slightly above soil level.
    • Space bulbs 10cm apart for a full display or further apart for a less dense appearance.
    • If planting in pots, use a high-quality, free-draining potting mix. Place gravel at the base of the pot to enhance drainage.

Care Instructions:

  • Watering: Water regularly, especially during the active growing period, and reduce watering as the plant enters dormancy.
  • Fertilising: Use pelletised chicken manure and a balanced bulb fertiliser, applied annually.
  • Temperature: Protect from frost; ideal temperatures range from 15-25°C.
  • Naturalisation: These bulbs prefer to stay in the ground for multiple years and do not require annual lifting.
  • Additional Tips: Ensure the bulb is well-fed and watered up until winter dormancy. Avoid overwatering, especially in pots, by ensuring good drainage.

Additional Notes:

  • Hippeastrum 'Amalfi' is a robust variety with strong stems and striking mid pink blooms, perfect for cut flowers.
  • The stock offered are large, flowering-size bulbs with a viable root system, ensuring true-to-type flowers.
